DECK AND WINKWORTH/ St Leonards and Ip­swich

Florence Matilda Deck mar­ried John Winkworth of 5 Jupiter Road, Ip­swich, in 1913. John Winkworth died in 1922 but I can’t de­ter­mine the fate of Florence Matilda, ei­ther as Deck or Winkworth.

Florence Matilda Davis had mar­ried Ed­ward James Deck in Ed­mon­ton, Mid­dle­sex, in 1897. He was a sur­geon born 1873 in Har­tismere, Suf­folk. While liv­ing at St Leonards, Sus­sex, un­til at least 1902, they had two chil­dren, Philip Ron­ald and Ed­ward Dal­ralph Deck, who sub­se­quently de­scribed their mother as Mrs J Winkworth. How­ever, Ed­ward James Deck ap­par­ently re­mar­ried abroad in 1914 but I can’t find him in any ship­ping records. I’d like to know when he sailed and what hap­pened. John Grim­sey, by email
